The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP's policy work carried out at HQ, Regional Hubs and Country Office levels, forms a contiguous spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting‑edge global perspectives and advocacy.

In this context, UNDP invests in the Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field‑based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in the Strategic Plan.

Within the GPN, the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) has the responsibility for developing all relevant policies and guidance to support the results of UNDP's Strategic Plan. BPPS's staff provides technical advice to Country Offices, advocates for UNDP corporate messages, represents UNDP at multi‑stakeholder fora including public‑private dialogues, government and civil society dialogues, and engages in UN inter‑agency coordination in specific thematic areas.

BPPS works closely with UNDP's Crisis Bureau (CB) to support emergency and crisis response. BPPS ensures that issues of risk are fully integrated into UNDP's development programmes. BPPS assists UNDP and partners to achieve higher quality development results through an integrated approach that links results‑based management and performance monitoring with more effective and new ways of working. BPPS supports UNDP and partners to be more innovative, knowledge and data‑driven including in its programme support efforts.

The scope and scale of delivering health and well‑being for all demands innovative partnerships and financing.

Stronger Collaboration, Better Health:
Global Action Plan for Healthy Lives and Well‑being for All outlines how a dozen multilateral health, development and humanitarian agencies, including UNDP, the Global Fund, Gavi and others will collaborate to be more efficient and effective in supporting countries to deliver UHC and achieve the health‑related SDG targets.

Connecting the Dots, makes a vital contribution to UNDP’s Strategic Plan 2022‑2025, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the SDGs and the pledge to leave no one behind.
